Determining Custody
The court are mandated to treat both parents equally when determining custody, visitation and decision making authority. We fight against age old prejudices to insure that neither the mother or father having greater rights. Everything turns on series of factors, which help the court decide custody, visitation and the allocation of parental responsibility that are in the best interest of the children. Some of these factors include which parent is:
• More likely to promote a parental bond with the other parent
• More likely to keep children removed from litigation
• More familiar with the child's likes/friends/hobbies
• Familiar with the child's teachers
• More involved in the children's education
• Involved in the child's medical care (knows doctors by name)
• Carrying a history of drug abuse or domestic violence
• Carrying a diminished the reputation themselves
• Paying child support and whether that responsibility has been adequately met
• More likely to establishing a stable environment
The court will appoint a guardian at litem at the parents' expense to protect minor children's legal rights in situations that affect their welfare and where the children's interests conflict with the interests of the parents.
Serious Issues
With more than 75 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys have a firm understanding of how specific circumstances can affect the allocation of parenting time by the court. The courts typically assign custody, visitation and when appropriate joint custody and joint parenting responsibility unless a parent's behavior requires court intervention. In certain situations, a parent's rights could be terminated and sole custody could be awarded to the other parent.
Additionally, it is within the discretion of the court to assign supervised visitation. In appropriate situations a therapist or other professional could sit with the parent while the parent visited the child. We can evaluate your situation and provide guidance tailored to your child's needs. Our extensive experience includes providing guidance and representation for situations involving:
• Parental alienation
• Retaliation
• A parent's new boyfriend or girlfriend who is a bad influence or a felon
• Abductions (The Hague Convention)
• Relocations
• Domestic violence
• Parental Kidnapping
• Military family issues
